A known issue with the ‘Too Many Requests’ service on Amazon Web Services (AWS) has led to a significant blockage of incoming requests from a specific IP address, identified as 37.27.54.14. This incident occurred due to an excessive number of API calls made from this IP address in a short period.
The affected service is part of AWS’s Simple Queue Service (SQS), which allows developers to create and manage messaging queues for their applications. The ‘Too Many Requests’ error typically occurs when the queue limit is exceeded, resulting in denial of service for SQS operations.
Cloudflare has been notified about this issue, and they are working to resolve it as soon as possible. However, no specific timeline for resolution has been provided at this point. It’s essential for developers utilizing AWS services to monitor their API calls and implement strategies to avoid such issues in the future.
